I wanted to enter a poetry competition with the theme of 'Voyages' but it turned out I missed the deadline so I thought I'd post it here instead. I wrote this just now on the train in 10 minutes, so it's not very good.
The air strikes my tender skin
As she dances hauntingly with the water
Surrounding me.
Looking far over their violent encounter
I pretend that I can still see you
Smiling at the docks.
You stood so bold and tall,
Refused to let any moisture escape your eyes.
You drowned me in your kisses
And engulfed me in your embrace.
Now I have only the sea's embrace to comfort me
And its moisture is all I can see.
I feel my image of you weakening,
Washed away by these nightmare shores.
You are replaced by the waters
That sweep me away from you so
Unwillingly.
I will return to you someday.
